Third for trioFollow

Not sure if this is a knock on Druids or SKs but being a 65 SK in the fortress of zek I can handle any of the pit mobs without an external heal and still be at 75-95% Life. SKs have some healing abilities and with regen do quite well. I think a Druid would do quite well with that group.

3 box Group with Shaman and Mage

Let not forget about Utility Potion now available HoT, Healing, and Haste. Side note with your shaman get him to at least 25 and start alchemy. even if its just for your own use it will pay for itself.

Knowing that you'll be duo-ing from time to time without the bard is the clincher I think and Druid is the way to go.

I play a cleric as my main and I truly believe that we are underestimated. with a bard in the group, SoW is not really important at all. while a shammy would definitely be my choice for a trio, a cleric that knows how to avoid aggro and still get in a decent amount of stuns or nukes can be a very good choice. I have spent most of my levelling of 2 clerics in a group of 2 or three which has taught me to do a little bit of fighting and never run out of mana.
Still, you should reconsider and make a new shammy.

Seriously, I box a druid with a sk, wife plays a beastlord. We trio RCoD, taking the minor nameds. Druid can heal fine and ends most fights with over 70% mana. Unless I go nuke happy on her box, which I would also like to address, druid nuke > than cleric in every form and fashion, Chromastrike CLR/69 1: Decrease Hitpoints by 1200. clerics most powerful all target (not just undead) nuke.Dawnstrike DRU/70 1: Decrease Hitpoints by 2125. don't forget the AOE spells, 3 waves of Tempest Wind DRU/66 1: Decrease Hitpoints by 1168. so in review, a class that can do almost the same amount of damage in one wave of a 3 part nuke is better. Go go hybrids. irrelevant to your thread, but needed to be stated.
